Hi. This car has been running good since I bought it a couple of years ago. I was working on a current draw removing and reinstalling fuses. I see that fuse 20 (FEM) is the one with the overcurrent (around 1.2 and 2.7 amps fluctuating). When I put everything back, now the car starts and dies. Once dies, the cooling fan starts. If you try to start again, it won’t. You need to turn off the switch and start again. ODB reader shows P2107

Hi. This car has been running good since I bought it a couple of years ago. I was working on a current draw removing and reinstalling fuses.

If you try to start again, it won’t. You need to turn off the switch and start again. ODB reader shows P2107 but the live data shows the TPS responding correctly to the pedal. Besides this, suddenly, the last two tries, there’s an oil leak (not small). It was in the floor the first time. I put a cardboard, tried again and when the car dies there’s an oil leak. Any ideas? Do I need to rebuilt the FEM? I will take a look at the oil leak tomorrow and post an update.
